I use Iasus X2 speakers.  No helmet mod necessary, just install with velcro.  Got them off ebay:

Although I am starting to wonder now that even helmets can be modified,,what on a bike cant you modify??

You can't modify your vulnerability to other road users who "don't see" bikes, or are intent on killing you. :-(

i must be doing something wrong.  i have a zumo 550, a boostaroo amp, and those iasus speakers, and with earplugs in and the iasus speakers, i can't hear shite unless i turn the volume up full blast.  am i using too efficient of an earplug?  i'm using the howard leight "super leights", bright orange foam with a taper, rated at 33 dBs.  so i'm back to my old standard, foam earbuds in my ears...

Which helmet are you using now?
Even a couple of mills difference in where you place the speakers will make a huge difference.
Try putting your helmet on, don't do the strap up,and twisting it a little, to and fro, up and down.
See what happens.
Or maybe it's just your weird, pointy head and there's no hope for you.

Dean,
Not sure how much power the Zumo puts out for sound.  I've got the Jensen radio with the Iasus speakers and I don't need the boosteroo.  Tried the boosteroo with other speakers and it only resulted in distortion.  I'm using the Hearos earplugs in my RF-1000.  I can also run my iPod thru the Jensen and don't need max volume most times.
